I've run a half. It doesn't count. I've run a half. That's just every day, baby. That's just my daily run, baby. Is it? Okay. But the 42 has only been completed by Vaughn Allen.

Yeah, but I feel like it was so long ago you can't talk about it now. I think you're allowed to talk about it forever. That's a forever thing. It's one of those accomplishments. Is it? Yeah. Women are allowed to talk about childbirth. Yep.

Forever. Forever. Wait, you're comparing running a marathon to childbirth? It's probably worse. Having never given birth. Yeah. Okay. But the reason I'm talking about- Well, chances are you're going to shit yourself during both.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my God. Did you see that clip? A professional marathon runner. Oh my God, yes. She's running along like this. And then the cameraman's there. Who's on the motorbike?

I've just shit myself, so please don't get me from behind. Thank you. Because she doesn't know there's audio on the run. Oh. I saw it. It made me laugh so much. Would you rather go viral? There's less chance of you going viral just running along with poo coming out

because that's gross. People wouldn't share that. Yeah. But now she's gone viral for telling everyone not to film her because she's shared herself. And you didn't have to say shit, so it's a win. It's a win. Because we know she's done it.

We didn't have to look at it. It might be the perfect viral moment. Yeah. It might be, yeah. It might just be the people. moment. It might be, yeah. The reason I'm prattling on about marathons is because, well, no one in our team's completed one recently, but, Carwen, your friend did a marathon recently.

A half or full? A full. Well, is a half not that much? A half is 21. It's 21. It's a lot. Okay, I think it was a half, but that's a lot. That's a lot. I can't run 20K.

Yeah, I can't either. I did an 80K hike a few weeks ago. You didn't run it. Yeah, but I was walking fast. No, it's not. I was carrying weight. It's a different skill. Very impressive.

Thank you. I'm not taking away from your 80K hike that took three full days. Thank you. With naps in between and rests. Little food breaks and stuff. And dehydrated meals. And dehydrated meals. But you did two marathons over three days.

I did two marathons over three days. You didn't run and you had breaks. Running a marathon is you start at the start line, you finish at the finish line, you don't stop. Even a half, 21K, that's a lot. Yeah. Well, anyways, so i volunteer at this charity whatever i want to win it and she could have said my friend like she literally just

could have said my friend we don't go on about our charity all the time oh no you would never no sorry we would literally never well anyways my friend that also volunteers at this charity with me well there's a second charity it's why you could just say my friend that also volunteers at this charity with me. Oh, there's a second entry at the charity. It's why. You can just send my friends. I almost feel like a third. Volunteers. Yeah.

Volunteers. Charity. Which is also with children. Oh. Jesus Christ. The future of our planet. So we were sat down with our children and we were talking about what we did on the weekend. And he comes out of the blue and says, oh, I did the Auckland Marathon.

I did the half marathon. And we were like, wait, you didn't tell us you were going to do this in the week before. That's because it's part of doing the marathon is being able to say I'm training for a half. Training for a half. That's why you're doing it. Exactly. Exactly. Why?

Because he hadn't trained at all. What? Is he just really fit? I mean, he's not unfit, but like this isn't, he's not a big gym goer. This isn't his thing. He just decided,

oh, I should probably train for that the day before. That's not, no, you can't train. No, no, no, no. Training for a marathon takes like months. Yeah. And he still got quite a good time.

I can't think of what it was, but it was like a pretty decent normal time to get for a marathon. Oh God, you can't roar dogs. My sister's ex-husband used to pull shit like this. Really? No training, but I might run a pretty decent normal time to get for a marathon. Oh, God, you can't have raw dogs. My sister's ex-husband used to pull shit like this. Really? No training, but I might run a half marathon with my mates,

and they'd go and crack like sub two hours on no training. Crazy. That's insane. That's just fit. Obviously fit people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I couldn't go and do a 10 now. I just wouldn't be able to raw dog a 10.

No, I've got a dicky knee. I couldn't do that. Yeah, my boobs are too heavy. I just couldn't go and do a 10 now. I just wouldn't be able to raw dog a 10. No, I've got a dicky knee. I couldn't do that. Yeah, my boobs are too heavy. I just couldn't be bothered. Yeah, I'd really need to get some motivation. I'd need to train for at least like two months. Oh, yeah. At least for a half marathon.

Was he sore? He had a little bit of like an achy calf muscle. And that was it? That's it. A little bit. Just a light twin head. Everyone who's listening who has trained hard for a half yeah yeah and like he doesn't he's a he's a pharmacist he doesn't do

like a strenuous job or anything it's not a physical job wow maybe you had some pills helping him yeah got jacked up on the cold and flu on some cold and flu mix it with some red bull and some stiffy pills oh yeah and before you Mix it with some Red Bull and some Stiffy Pills. Oh, yeah. And before you know it, you've run... A couple of lines of bloody antibiotics. Yeah, and before you know it, you've run a half marathon in one hour 40. Keeps popping into those port-a-lots and racking up some antibiotics and then hitting it in the track.

I don't think antibiotics are in the upper. He's shelving a couple of antibiotics. Yeah, man. He's got some bloody antifungals in there as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just for a-fungals in there as well. Just for a nice mix. Send a good mix going. Some Lamisil.
